WB Erect Form Corsets

The “W. B. Erect Form” embodies those cardinal truths of corset making which the designer has striven to reach since the days of Elizabeth. It is the logical perfection of the corset idea—hygienic, graceful, exquisite in its lines. It is positively the only proper model for straight front and Princess gowns.
